BJP’s Prem Shukla abuses Congress’ Surendra Rajput during debate on live TV, video goes viral
The honour of debates on television has once again been compromised. In fact, Congress spokesman Surendra Rajput and BJP spokesman Prem Shukla used derogatory words during a live debate on a well-known private channel.
Even after the anchor muted BJP National spokesperson Prem Shukla for a few secs requesting him not to abuse during live debate, He abuses again by saying.. 'Kaha se laye iss tawayaf ki aulad ko' ( Where did you get this Son of a Prostitute from?).

The two spokespersons engaged in a contentious discussion during the debate, covering issues such as political morality, women’s rights, and ceasefire during the India vs Pakistan fight.
Subsequently, the two spokespersons began disparaging one another personally. The situation became so heated that Prem Shukla became irate and used highly offensive language regarding the late mother of Surendra Rajput as he labelled the Congress member’s mother as a wh*re as he shouted “teri maa r*ndi hai” on live TV during the debate on Aaj Tak with the anchor needing to intervene.

On the social media site X, the SP chief wrote, Those BJP members who cross every limit of obscenity for the respected spokesperson of an opposition national party in a live debate of a national Hindi channel, speak such despicable language, how will they behave with the common man in private or what they do with them, there is no need to say.”
According to the Kannauj MP, these people have a linguistic culture that is quite complex. The BJP is demonstrating its ideals by providing such individuals with a platform.
“The people have not had even the slightest hope from the BJP for moral-religion, family-ideas, social conduct, and linguistic decorum,” the SP leader wrote.
On social media, the debate video is getting more and more views. Those who have linked the occurrence to “ideological impoverishment of politicians” and “declining standards in the media” have voiced harsh criticism.
